| description | The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages
and disadvantages of Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB).
Seventy-six breeders were randomly selected from among 95
breeders who were working at the Seed and Plant Improvement
Institute, Karaj, Iran. Data were collected by a questionnaire
as the main data collection instrument. The face and content
validity of the questionnaire was approved by a panel of agricultural
extension and plant breeding experts. The reliability
of the questionnaire was calculated and it turned out to be
high, ranging from 0.83-0.92. The descriptive findings of the
study suggested that the breeders had generally positive
perception toward using PPB. The correlation analysis results
showed that there is a positive and significant (p>0.01)
correlation among the levels of familiarity with PPB, advantages,
and breeders’ perception toward the use of PPB. In addition,
there was a negative and significant (p>0.01) correlation
between breeders' perception of the disadvantages faced by
PPB and their perception of using participatory plant breeding.
Finally,stepwise regression analysisindicated that the advantages
and disadvantages of PPB explained about 58% of the variations
in breeders’ perception toward using PPB. |
